The event calls for 24 teams to play 12 baseball games at Dow Diamond over a 24-hour period beginning at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 18.

Proceeds will benefit both the Maria Mencia Cancer Caregiver Network and the Michigan Baseball Foundation.

Businesses and organizations throughout the region can participate by forming teams that will play during a specific time slot for up to an hour and a half.

Teams will consist of 12 players, and each game will feature music, video board and public address. Cost to register a team is $750 and includes team shirts and a time slot in which to play. Up to three additional players can be added for $40 per player. Organizers are also seeking 12 corporate sponsors at $1,000 each to sponsor the 12 games.
